Lentil & Quinoa Tacos

We’ve received countless comments over the years about this recipe, especially from the herbivore mamas out there, claiming that when they make these tacos for the family, their kiddos and husbands happily mumble, with mouths full, “If all plant-based food tastes this good, I’ll never eat meat again!”
